Exposure to xenobiotics raises the risk of male infertility, breast cancer in females, feminization of male animals and the evolution of antibiotic resistant strains of bacteria. Of particular concern are endocrine disruptors such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), which are chemicals that at certain doses can interfere with the endocrine (or hormone) system in mammals. These disruptions can cause cancerous tumours, birth defects and other developmental disorders. [Pg.422]
